Bard and how to fix it.

[Necato]

5 - Minor nitpick: make moves more thematic. Why does a move called WANDERER'S minstrel cause me to stand still? How does a move called Iron Jaws refresh my dots?

A minuet was a "small steps" dance requiring little movement.
As for Iron Jaws... our dots are called Venomous and Wind bites.
To me both names fit perfectly.

Agreed with your other points but the 3, the 15s cooldown is fine.
And they won't turn us into FFXI Bard. Support job doesn't and won't exist in FFXIV.
Though we are supposed to support our team...
